SXSW bound
I’m heading to SXSW (south by southwest) today to check out the conference. It’s been blowing up the last few years, especially the Interactive conference. Getting there on the tail end of things, as I had a few too many demands on on the calendar. Yes, I’m a newbie. No, I won’t be drunk the while time.
Filtrbox is co-sponsoring the CO interactive party tonight, should be a god time. Http://Colorado-interactive.com
Things I’m looking forward to checking out @sxsw…
1. Is there real dialogue on topics or just polite agreement? (note: based on the apparently awesome #specwork09 panel I missed, the answer is yes on the realness)
2. Are people talking about the future of search? What are the other emerging trends (aside from filtering and semantic intelligence).
3. New/breakout apps launching -what’s got people interested and what flops? Apparently AT&T’s cell network blows in Austin, to the point where Wired has written about it and iPhone peeps are pissed! Might make it hard for mobility apps to get the adoption they need.
What are the don’t miss panels/parties/apps/topics? Let me know.
